Our aim was to determinate the prognostic value of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in primary operable patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Six hundred seventy-eight NSCLC patients were enrolled in this study. The prognostic significance of both markers was determined by both univariate and multivariate Cox survival analysis. The cut-off value for NLR and PLR was selected by using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.
Multivariate analysis showed that NLR was an independent prognostic factor for disease-free survival (hazard ratio = 1.593, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.277 to 1.988, P < .001) and overall survival (hazard ratio = 1.624, 95% CI 1.304 to 2.022, P < .001). The area under the curve was .640 (95% CI .599 to .682, P < .001) for NLR and .547 (95% CI .503 to .590, P = .036) for PLR, indicating that NLR was superior to PLR as a predictive factor in primary operable NSCLC patients.
Preoperative NLR represents a significant independent prognostic indicator in primary operable NSCLC patients. Our results also demonstrate that high-risk patients based on the NLR do not benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy.
我们的目的是确定中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)和血小板与淋巴细胞比值(PLR)在可手术切除的原发性非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者中的预后价值。
本研究纳入了678例NSCLC患者。通过单因素和多因素Cox生存分析确定这两种标志物的预后意义。使用受试者工作特征曲线分析选择NLR和PLR的临界值。
多因素分析显示,NLR是无病生存的独立预后因素(风险比=1.593,95%置信区间[CI]1.277至1.988,P<.001)和总生存的独立预后因素(风险比=1.624,95%CI 1.304至2.022,P<.001)。NLR的曲线下面积为0.640(95%CI 0.599至0.682,P<.001),PLR的曲线下面积为0.547(95%CI 0.503至0.590,P=.036),表明在可手术切除的原发性NSCLC患者中,NLR作为预测因素优于PLR。
术前NLR是可手术切除的原发性NSCLC患者重要的独立预后指标。我们的结果还表明,基于NLR的高危患者不能从辅助化疗中获益。
